Our son Matt has brought such joy to us and through him we have learnt so many things about ourselves and life. He has a rare genetic syndrome called Rubinstein-Taybi Syndrome. This blog is where we process the things we have learnt, where we share our challenges and pains, and where we celebrate small victories.

Matt’s first visit from his physiotherapist, Pamela K Hansford, was on the 24th November 2006 when she came to our home. Since that time he has had regular sessions at her at practice. She has helped him make great progress. This post is to celebrate one year of physiotherapy – of stabilizing, stretching, and strengthening.

Love

The Bible says that if we have not LOVE then we are nothing "If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing." 1 Corinthians 13: 1-7

nothing nothingWe are nothing without LOVE

It does not say if we learn to crawl long after most children crawl we are nothing It does not say if we struggle to learn how to speak we are nothingIt does not say if we grow up dependent on others we are nothingNo it says if we have not LOVE then we are nothing

This is helping us to free ourselves from worrying about Matt's development.

Rather, our goal is to let Matthew know he is LOVEDAnd to help him unlock the deep well of LOVE that God has placed in his heart...For then he will have LOVE and he will be something
